present idol in the temple, there is an inscription of the year 1976 of the Vikram era.
The original idol was swept far away in the flow of time. The present black stone idol of
Parshvanathji presents a delightful scene to devotees. In the depth of his splendid
future, a Brahmin saw Parshvanath, the future Tirthankara as the architect of eternal
happiness and in memory of his last two births, he got a beautiful idol of Parshvanathji
made and got it installed in the present temple. Kurkateshvar Parshvanath is known in the
popular language by the name, Kakadeshvar. This temple is recently renovated. A fair is
held here every year on the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Bhadrapad.
